I spent a lot of time at the line trying to get the launch control to engage so I was launching it softer then I could have. The launch control engaged once on my last run but I don't think it's very aggressive. Even with its learn feature I think I can probably launch it harder myself just power braking it.
The launch is where the time is to be made up. With a fastest 60 foot time of 1.99 I think with the Xdrive I can get a 1.84 which would put the car at 13.1 stock.
I don't think it will go faster without more power.

Speaking of power, based off the time slips its at 329hp stock. Slightly more then BMW has rated it.
Your 0-60 is likely 4.6 based on the quarter you recorded, same as car and driver. However you still need summers, all seasons are not your go to tire for performance. Add summers better launch techniques and you are right, lots of time left on the table
